Waiting to hear back about the re-dying experiment someone was going to try out on the thread.
Wasn't me, but I dye'd a pair of the older shorts (not the new 4waystretch ones) black with black dylon a month ago and it was fine. I wonder if the DWR coating might have been what affected the other attempt? Anyway I washed mine warm in normal detergent, first, which should have stripped out any coating and made the dye stick fine

So my newish pair of shorts which are a few months old, have started to go orange on the front. My old pair which is 2 years old, went orange after a year. I think the recent sunshine has added to the issue. Waiting to hear back about the re-dying experiment someone was going to try out on the thread. But neither pair has warn-out yet, I ride a Spoon saddle and the stitching does cause some issues, but since I covered the front area of the saddle in thin strips of electrical tape there is less rub. My original 3/4 shorts are even older and they don't have any issues at all, the material is heavier so perhaps that helps.
